That’s everything that was revealed at Summer Games Fest; so let’s take a closer look at the biggest reveals of the event...

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

Starting the conference with a bang, Gearbox debuted the first proper Borderlands spin-off, titled Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. It looks to be a title based on the fan-favourite DLC Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, but it’s said to have its own mechanics and character customization to keep the experience feeling like a new one. Using the voice talents of Andy Samberg, Will Arnett and more, the game looks weird and wonderful - exactly what we’d expect from a game brandishing Tiny Tina’s name in the way Wonderlands does.

Death Stranding: Director’s Cut

Mystery guest Hideo Kojima showed up early in the conference to reveal a new way to experience the experimental title. The director’s cut of Death Stranding is coming to PS5, offering a new degree of play to the game and expanding the story of the groundbreaking title. If you’re desperate for more Kojima (especially given the trailer’s homages to Metal Gear Solid) or you’re yet to give the game a go, this might be the perfect way to experience Death Stranding.

Jurassic World: Evolution 2

Jeff Goldblum’s appearance immediately stoked excitement in Jurassic fans, and it was with good reason, as Jurassic World: Evolution 2 saw a reveal. Not much is known of the game as of yet, but Goldblum’s silky narration is enough to get us involved from the off. The park building sequel looks a little denser than the first game, but we’ll have to hold our horses before anything can be confirmed. It’ll come to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2021.

Elden Ring

This is the big one. Elden Ring, made by the instantly legendary combination of FromSoftware and George R. R. Martin, the game looks like a stellar return to the Souls-like genre. The sprawling vistas and twisting fantasy worlds are truly something to behold, and of course, there’s a certain level of trust we have for the story despite limited details, because, well - it’s George R. R. Martin. Perhaps the most hype-ridden title of the last year, Elden Ring fans have plenty to be excited for.

Summer Game Fest was a great way to kick off E3, and we’re excited to see what the rest of the conference brings. But still, even if the rest of the weekend flops hard; we’ve still got Elden Ring.
